Our empolyee handbook says no texting or use of cell phone while driving. I'm sure most of our sales guys ignore that.

The company owns the phone and you have to give it back when you leave. As for upgrades if you are eliagiable for one and it cost less that $99 then you can get a new device, but that is the IT manager's policy, not offical.

Employees are reminded that when driving a vehicle whether the vehicle is company-owned or otherwise, you have one and only one responsibility and that is driving the vehicle. Safe driving requires 100% attention to the task at hand. Using a cell phone while driving leads to an increased risk of having an accident through distraction and/or a lack of attention to driving.

To ensure your safety, using cell phones whether for work or personal use, while driving is strictly forbidden.

· Do not place calls while driving. Pull over first or have a passenger place/answer the call.

· Never pick the phone up off the floor while driving. Pull over and park first.

I just updated our company cell phone policies and changed it to policies for Mobile Devices. It included just about all you have there and included a section to cover rooting or jailbraking devices. One item not in there is the refresh time as we would like them to use them longer if possible.

Unusual that I didn't see any mention of personal use of the phone in that sample policy.

We say that occasional personal use is OK. But I've actually had to curtail some of the younger generation who text all the time. We have a minute/text pool and a few just out of college kids were tearing it up every month.
